Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1914; First Edition; 8vo, 414 pages; top edges gilt; black cloth boards; gilt titles. English physician Havelock Ellis’s chilling designs for worldwide social engineering through the implementation of eugenics, euphemistically termed "Social Hygiene." Ellis was in addition an ardent champion of women’s rights, and there are three full chapters on the subject. A revealing book which provides an early look at systematic plans for a homogeneous human race, ruled by one world government. Disquietingly familiar, viewed against today’s liberal political agenda. Very Good, no dust jacket. Spine lightly sunned.
